Mom found out on dec 23 that the cancer has spread in her liver even more. It has been 6 weeks since her last scan. She finished Chemo in Sept and Radiation in November. they were hoping for more like 4 months before it came back. She did have one spot on her lung that was 11mm six weeks ago and now it is 21mm. Two more spots also showed up. one is 19mm and the other is 18mm. She's staying very positive about the whole thing. Thats why i love that woman....she keeps me positive. we start chemo AGAIN hopefully the 12th of January.

Heavenly Father, Please put your arms around this family. Give them faith, hope and continued love. Give the doctors wisdom. Lord, if it is your will, banish this cancer from her body, but if that is not your will, help this family travel down the path you have set for them. In Christ's name I pray, Amen

I just joined this group yesterday and I was very touched by your entry. I joined because my mother is in the last stages of liver failure. She had lost most of her small bowel last year and needed TPN to live on. The same fluids that sustained her have also destroyed her liver. And I feel like I have been through this with her. Yesterday I brought her home from Mt. Sinai in NY after a week of care. But they had told me on Wednesday that there was nothing they could offer. As a daughter (and a physician) I found those words so hard to hear. So we took her home, jaundiced and itching, and starting to become confused. We don't want her readmitted so we will make her comfortable at home. I hope I have the strength to be there for her. My prayers go to you and to all families that care for their loved ones.

I have to say that you and your mom are two amazing women. What courage and strength you have together. It's so amazing that you and your mom can do this together and have the positive attitude.

My positive thoughts and prayers are with you and mom.

Hang in there and keep the faith, it will pull through as the care taker and for your sweet mom too. If you need other people lean on them and depend on them, They want to help you, I did and now I can repay back to all who need it, You are a caretaker, but you need some care and strength too. The modern technology of cancer will sustain your sweet mama I know. I had stage 3 and will be cancer fee for 1 year on Feb 13, 2009, one year from chemo YIPPEE.

Take care and I am here if you need me LKW101@aol.com or 832-688-8184

Hugs
Linda
